SUPERBOVA 2004ep IN IC 2152
     Further to IAUC 8401, M. Moore and W. Li report the LOSS discovery of an
apparent supernova of mag about 18.6 on an unfiltered KAIT image taken on
Sept. 22.52 UT.  The new object was confirmed on an earlier image taken on
Aug. 16.54 UT at mag about 18.7.  SN 2004ep is located at R.A. = 5h57m53s.66,
Decl. = -23o10'58".3 (equinox 2000.0), which is 3".8 east and 7".2 south of
the nucleus of IC 2152.  A KAIT image on Mar. 5.20 UT showed nothing at this
position (limiting mag about 19.5).
